Abstract: A method of processing a light-sensitivity silver halide color photographic material by processing a light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material with a processing solution having fixing ability and subsequently processing the fixed material with a water washing-substitutive stabilizing solution substantially without carrying out washing with water, which comprises carrying out processing with a water washing-substitutive stabilizing solution in the presence of at least one of the compounds represented by the Formulae (I). (II), (II') and (II") shown below: Formula (I)wherein R, R<sub>1</sub>, R<sub>2</sub>, R<sub>3</sub>, R<sub>4</sub>, and R<sub>5</sub> each represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxy group, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a sulfo group or -NHCH<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>3</sub>M (M represents a cation), Formula (II)wherein R<sub>6</sub> and R<sub>6</sub>' each represent a hydrogen atom, an unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted alkyl group, an unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted aryl group, an unsubstituted heterocyclic group or a substituted heterocyclic group; R<sub>7</sub> and R<sub>7</sub>' each represent a hydroxy group, an alkoxygroup, a substituted alkoxy group, a cyano group, a trifluoromethyl group, -COOR<sub>8</sub>, -CONHR<sub>B</sub>, - NHCOR<sub>8</sub>, an amino group, a substituted amino group substituted with an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a cyclic amino group represented by the Formula: (wherein p and q each represent 1 or 2, and X represents an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or a -CH<sub>2</sub>- group); R<sub>6</sub> represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or an aryl group; L represents a methyne group; n represents 0, 1 or 2; m represents 0 or 1,Formule (II')wherein r represents an integer of 1 to 3; W represents an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom; L represents a methyne group; R<sub>3</sub>, -R<sub>34</sub> each represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, an aralkyl group or a heterocyclic group, at least one of which is a substituent other than hydrogen atom,Formula (II'')wherein ε represents an integer of 1 or 2; L represents a methyne group; R<sub>41</sub> represents an alkyl group, an aryl group or a heterocyclic group; R<sub>42</sub> represents a hydroxy group, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a substituted alkoxy group, a . cyano group, a trifluoromethyl group, -COOR<sub>8</sub>, -CONNR<sub>8</sub>, -NHCOR<sub>8</sub>, an amino group, a substituted amino group substituted with an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a cyclic amino group represented by the Formula:(wherein p and q each represent 1 or 2, and X represents an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or a -CH<sub>2</sub>- group); R<sub>8</sub> represents a hyrogen atom, an alkyl group or an aryl group; R<sub>43</sub> represents a -OZ, group or agroup;Z<sub>1</sub>, Z<sub>2</sub> and Z<sub>3</sub> each represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, Z<sub>2</sub> and Z<sub>3</sub> being either the same or different or alternatively being bonded to each other to form a ring; and R4<sub>4</sub> represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a chlorine atom or an alkoxy group.In this method, generation of stain can be suppressed at the unexposed portion even when a prolonged continuous processing is conducted and also storage stability of the cyan dye under high temperature and high humidity can be improved.
